Even the air became scorching hot. The burning smoke and flames could be clearly seen even from ten kilometers away.
The battle lasted for nearly three hours. The time spent was enough to wipe out this wave of zombies.
The thick smell of blood, mixed with the rotten stench of burnt flesh, and the strong smell of gunpowder pervaded the area.
On the battlefield, even a casual breath could smell the thick smell of smoke, which did not dissipate.
This was unavoidable when using gunpowder weapons. Even smokeless gunpowder would still produce a lot of smoke.
The ammunition on the 10 trucks of the Liberation CA130 had all been emptied, including the ammunition on the troops. This battle had consumed at least 40 tons of ammunition.
If it wasn't for the support of the system, the remaining soldiers of the ordinary military would not be able to launch a battle of this scale. Even if they could, they would need a lot of time to recover their ammo reserves.
Ding! The lighter lit up the Marlboros in his mouth. Luo Chen stared at the bloody battlefield that looked like hell.
The mine field was almost completely depleted, but there were still many mines left. The engineers were collecting them.
The soldiers were currently cleaning up the battlefield. Due to the tenacious vitality of zombies and mutated creatures, their actions were very careful.
When they saw a corpse that could still move, they would usually shoot it once or twice.
The brain was the main part of the brain, which was also the main weakness of zombies and mutated creatures.
However, when they were beaten into several pieces, their spines were broken, and they were severely injured, even if their brains were still intact, they would still die within a few minutes because energy could not be supplied to their brains.
There were many zombies and mutated creatures, and there were almost no complete corpses.
However, there were still a lot of zombies who could successfully collect the spoils of war.
What was more interesting was that some special materials could be collected from some zombies that seemed to have mutated or had completed their mutation.
But so far, Luo Chen didn't know what those materials were used for, but the system determined that they were very valuable. In fact, their value was much higher than the most basic infection samples.
Hence, Luo Chen collected all those special materials.
Moreover, many of the zombies had precious metals such as gold and silver jewelry on them, which were also targets for recycling. In addition, they had brought back all kinds of supplies from the evacuation of survivors.
Luo Chen had earned a lot from this operation. A conservative estimate was that he would earn at least five million resource points from this battle.
Other than the recovery of various resource points, there were also a lot of hidden benefits. For example, this evacuation had rescued a large number of survivors and the civilians had returned to Guanlan Village.
At the same time, a large number of militia troops had experienced this bloody battle and had basically grown to the level of 3-star veterans.
There were also quite a number of militia units that had reached 4-Star Elite.
This meant that Luo Chen could upgrade all the troops for free. However, other than a small number of troops, Luo Chen planned to upgrade most of the troops to the National Defense Force.
After all, the National Defense Force was the main force, and the military guards only needed to be promoted a little.
It was worth mentioning that the original 1st Battalion, which was the main evacuation unit, had almost all their proficiency increased to the level of veterans or elites.
However, if the Tier 2 troops wanted to continue leveling up, it would no longer be free. Instead, they would need to spend a certain amount of resource points to continue leveling up.
The troops of the third stage were almost all powerful troops. Compared to the main force of the second stage, almost all the troops of the third stage were elites.
The equipment they used was more sophisticated, and they had more combat experience.
This wasn't the main point. The main point was that Luo Chen was left with a huge sum of money to directly recruit troops.
Moreover, the troops that gained proficiency through combat and training were more experienced than the troops that were directly recruited. Their combat strength was also relatively stronger.
Luo Chen's campaign this time had perfectly achieved all of his goals.
Whether it was to carry out strategic deterrence, show off their fangs and strength, or large-scale military training, retrieving supplies, and evacuating survivors.
Luo Chen estimated that this large amount of goods would allow him to develop a mechanized unit. He might even be able to build an armored unit.
After the light armor factory was upgraded again, Luo Chen could produce some light tanks, IFVs, and various vehicle upgrades.
At the same time, after the battle ended, the construction of the headquarters would probably be completed soon. These resource points would be enough for him to upgrade various projects.
And the most important thing was the officer school. Without the officer school, he had no way to train and recruit officers.
Without a large number of professional officers, Luo Chen's troops wouldn't be complete. Only by urgently grooming a group of officers could he unleash the strongest combat power of his troops.
Even though the academy could only train lieutenants, it was still a huge supplement.
After all, Luo Chen was a novice and lacked the ability to command. He still had a long way to go. That battle was almost entirely based on experienced officers who organized the troops according to regulations.
Luo Chen relied on his half-baked knowledge to barely organize such a defensive battle.
A large number of strategies and tactics could not be executed without an officer.
Initially, Luo Chen had doubts about the Red Alert's large-scale combat ability. However, after this battle, he had a certain level of understanding of his own combat ability.
Now, Luo Chen could focus on developing his strength and thinking about how to deal with the other three forces.
